Save to your city mapCentro Vasco da Gama is an impressive shopping mall that was originally built for the Expo in 1998. It therefore has an ocean themed design complete with a large glass roof covered by flowing water. This also has the advantage of keeping the building cool and allows visitors to enjoy the 150 shops, cinema, and restaurants in comfort. On the top floor there is a large rooftop terrace which provides a pleasant view of the river.
